Dressing the Hair.

In the coiffures there is generally no
parting; all the hair is turned up and
slightly pulled out, as in the Marie An
t~oinette style. Then the hair is twisted
and gcd into a loop quite. in front,
in the middle of the head, while all the
rest of the hair is fastened into a roleau
ut the back, a little to the left. It is very
simple, but requires great care in arrang-
ing the hair at the back of the neck.
This should be done rather loosely, and
when the couture is. finished the hair
should be we'll rolled up with the comb
and left hand, and fastened here and
there with hairpins. For this purpose
gilt pins are generally used, and look
much p~rettier than the black ones.

It was in the dressing-room when the
grand ball was about to come to an end,
and sleepy maids were wrapping up
beautiful girls in white opera cloaks and
deecy hoods, that Olympic rushed in.
All the dew of youth was in her bonny
eyes. Her red lips smiled, her 1.-the
form was all a culver. It was her first
ball. She saw Arthemise, and rushed
over to kiss her-as young girls kiss each
other, "oh," said Olympic, clasping her
palms and rolling her heavenly eyes
h~eavenward, "Oh, mon Dieu! but ]
